What does Chapter 21 say about the Mamlatdar who was a devotee of Sai Baba?

Towards the end of the excerpts from Chapter 21, a new story is introduced about a devotee of Sai Baba. This man was described as being highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree. He had a successful career, slowly progressing to become a renowned officer, first obtaining the post of Mamlatdar and later rising to become a Collector. The chapter explicitly states that it was by his "good fortune" that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a glimpse into the nature of his job, noting that the Mamlatdar post, while great in status, was like a hill that looks beautiful from afar but is actually surrounded by thorny bushes, implying it was a very difficult and challenging position.
